When testing the XFS 1.2 release we found a problem that was caused
by inodes made unusable by make_bad_inode() still beeing returned by
iget() and friends. The workaround was to call remove_inode_hash()
before each call to make_bad_inode().
I think the proper fix is to let make_bad_inode() remove the inodes
from the hash chains.
